/**

 * relationships to other entities.  These are the propagated classifications.  Each entity can only have one
 * classification of a certain type.  A propagated classification can not override an assigned classification.
 * Classifications can only be attached to entities of specific types.  However a propagated classification can
 * flow through an entity that does not support the particular type of classification and then on to other
 * relationships attached to the entity.  The ClassificationPropagateRule in the relationship's RelationshipDef
